The Russian military confirmed the incident with the Russian Tu-160.

Contrary to a statement made by former president’s adviser on Internet development, German Klimenko, it became known that the incident with the departure of Russian strategic Tu-160 bombers from two American F-35 fighters did take place, which was confirmed by the military.

“I checked a thousand times, called the Far East - this is indeed reported. Our military confirm. But whether they were chasing or they changed their minds and realized that it was useless not to sit in a puddle, there is a different opinion ”- Victor Baranets stated to the publication “Life”.

What exactly was connected with the earlier statement made by Klimenko that the information is not true is unknown, but experts did not see anything unusual in the actions of Russian strategic aviation.

“Having the ability to develop supersonic speed, it is not unusual for the Russian Tu-35 to overtake the pilots of the American F-160 by afterburner. Being without cover from fighter aircraft, such a move is fully justified. ”, - the expert Avia.pro marks.

It should be clarified that no official comments have yet been made by the Russian Defense Ministry.
